Preping For An Alcohol Ink City Scape

The city views have much more detail than my flower inks and therefore require more planning and drawing.

Once I'm done with the drawing I use masking fluid

to white out and outline some of the details.

This takes a lot of time but it's worth it. I'll be able to apply the inks freely concentrating more on the patterns and combinations rather than "staying in the lines". This next phase is rather messy and I always feel as if "I messed up a perfectly good drawing" but it all works out in the end.

I'll start painting this tomorrow night at the Rockton River Market in Settlers Park. Come on down and join me.

Thanks Julie, I sent you an email with a link to an earlier blog post and two of my videos.I think your work is stunning. http://jillraefinallyart.blogspot.com/2015/03/drive-by-3-state-street-shops-process.htmlhttps://youtu.be/0fni3MkRz3Mhttps://youtu.be/WJPHQl1qPqI

About Me

Jill Rae Finally Art / Jill Rae Martin-Golden Hello, Thanks for visiting my Google Page. I have been involved in art from
the age of four. After graduating from the University of Illinois with a
BS in psychology and many hours of art classes I decided to pursue
other careers until a year ago when I decided I FINALLY had to devote
all my time to my painting. I'm loving it! I have learned so much this
last year, about myself, my art, marketing, book keeping, computers and
more. I feel fully engaged in life and can't believe that I get to wake
up each morning and paint. I live to paint and paint to live.
